Is it possible to put a graph and a table together in one figure?

\usepackage{subcaption}

\begin{figure}[b]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.4\linewidth]{Fit3Dir_30min/ModelSelectionGraphs/Histogram_smad7_reproduced_AICc}
    \begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c}
        Model Selection Criteria & Model 1 & Model 2 & Model 3\\
        \hline
        RSS  & 614.037  & 615.003 & 698.592\\
        AICc & 234.751  & 234.996 & 254.877\\
        BIC  & 264.25   & 264.495 & 284.376\\

    \end{tabular}
    \caption{Distribution of corrected Akaike information criteria (AICc) per model}
    \label{fig:model_selection}
\end{figure}

This code produces : enter image description here

which is only half way there. I would like to be able to add a separate caption and label to both the table and graph since they are separate things but still belong in one figure.

I have tried wrapping the table and graph parts of the figure in subfigure environment but it did not work and I have seen a few other posts such as this which also has not solved my problem.

I'm looking for the simplest solution preferably using the subcaption package since this is what I'm using for the rest of my figures.

Thanks in advance

\usepackage{caption}

\begin{minipage}[t]{0.57\linewidth}

  • Hi Herbert, thanks for the post. Would you happen to know how to get the table below the figure, rather than side by side? – CiaranWelsh Dec 20 '17 at 11:21
  • Actually, I've figured out I can replace \hfill with \vfill. However there is one last problem - I need the Figure 1 part to be part A of the figure the table to be part B. Then Id like one overall caption for the whole figure at the bottom. Thanks again. – CiaranWelsh Dec 20 '17 at 11:28

    then you do not need minipages and let only one empty line between image and tabular. That's all –  Dec 20 '17 at 14:31

If you want to place the table below the picture, you can use the subfig package (as in the link you posted), like this

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}


\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[!htbp]
    \centering
    \subfloat[][]{%
        \includegraphics[width=.4\linewidth]{example-image}
    }%
    \vfill
    \subfloat[][]{%
    \begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c}
        Model Selection Criteria & Model 1 & Model 2 & Model 3\\
        \hline
        RSS  & 614.037  & 615.003 & 698.592\\
        AICc & 234.751  & 234.996 & 254.877\\
        BIC  & 264.25   & 264.495 & 284.376\\
        \hline
    \end{tabular}
    }
    \caption{Distribution of corrected Akaike information criteria (AICc) per model}
    \label{fig:model_selection}
\end{figure}

\end{document}
